Surely they have to make some decisions on City and Victory before their next games. Victory play homeless on the 26th and then us against City on the 27th. Still a bit of time I guess. They are both guilty so it really is all about their punishments.

They could just order closed stadium games until they make a full decision

Apparently they plan to make an interim announcement about Victory tomorrow - presumably no away fans allowed?

I actually think they should allow away fans only. The OSM on socials clearly don't think they have done anything wrong. I don't get involved but their comments are very concerning as they seriously think the League will not survive without them therefore the FA will not ban them from attending.

Their delusional then.

Yep. Active supporters too easily start to believe that they are the be all end all when it comes to support and then appoint themselves as representatives of the fans.

Even though (mercifully) some of them have very little in common with the typically much larger majority of the rest of the clubs fans.

Oohh. Let's see how this one plays out.

What? Not a crack at the yellow army. Not what i meant. Love our active. And I expect they know better than anyone what I’m talking about. Context. Read the two previous posts/thread which is what I read and responded to and it should make sense.

Was the clear demise of the RBB from it's hey day imo and far from the first such in world football, and Victory now acting the same way on socials etc.

BUT is it enough ? And might I add, the security company who won the tender (or whatever) need the contract ripped cause clearly, their staff don’t give a flying f**k about active life bans or contraband checking

 

[Big Al]

Sneaky move to increase memberships?

how are away fans punished over MV. APL certainly not helping themselves

And apparently it stops just a week before the big blue in Sydney. Now that doesn’t sound like something Danny would do does it

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Ticket sales are frozen. But wouldn't most active supporters already have memberships? Or will they not let Victory active support members in at all? It doesn't say that. So presumably will just allow those members into GA? (Active is the same price as GA for them). As it reads it sounds like they are actually going to punish MV's casual non ultra fans and the away fans the most? IE - everyone who isn't a problem.

Oh and going to be hilarious to see how many incognito MV supporters will be at NYE pretending to go for us this year

Farcical.

Should be completely closed doors. Victory can say “they weren’t Victory fans” all they want but plenty of them forked out for merch. I’d bet a lot were members. Should be a fully empty stadium, this isn’t the first time Victory fans have been shitheads.

They won’t be able to help themselves. They’ll cheer when Victory does something. Punt them immediately

 

[FFC Mariner]

They were all Victory and football fans. The "they aren't fans" line is simply untrue

 

[Corsair]

Publish how many of the fans that have been charged by the police held memberships then...

How can anyone be satisfied with the performance of the APL?

Roar fans understandably pissed off that their non refundable flights and accom to Melbourne during a very expensive time of year are wasted as their tickets to the away game against MV will be canceled and not allowed to attend. Blame laid squarely on Danny Townsend.

Can't understand why solely away fans aren't allowed in, Victory are supposed to be the club being penalised.
